Yeah the first time I mounted it I didn't get stellar cooling results.

Simply re mounting very carefully(line up zip ties just right and pull them tight with pliers) and finding a good position for the radiator yielded mid 50C results for my GTX 480 (overclocked and overvolted) That's with the stock radiator on the Antec 620 cooler but I used two Yate Loon high speed fans at 7v push/pull.

Anybody else have an issue where the zip ties were too thick to go through the screw holes? Anybody see much of a difference between putting the CPU water block directly on the gpu or just putting it on top the heat plate where the fan goes???

guys, for the 9 bucks he charges the plate dwood sells is a steal. bolts right up to the card and allows you to put a fan on. none of that stupid zip tie crap. he even includes the screws and if you dont want to use an aftermarket fan then the plate is only 7 bucks.

great mod in such a small case! Nice job Shame its off centered as you have already said. Also i would have left the metal shroud on the card before fitting the water blocks as it probably would have helped to cool your VRM's...Guess its a little late now Good job on the cable ties...you can always neaten it up another time

Thanks Darylrese! I really do want to figure out a better way to mount the rads. And you're probably right about leaving the shrowd on, If I see my VRMs getting too hot I'll have to tear the case back down and put them back on.

Nice work. You could try to make a bracket/mount that holds the radiators off the the rear of the case. You could use the case screws to hold it on or something.
but

You know what... thats a pretty good idea I was so gung hoe about having them mounted to the top of the case I just ignored the rear. I'll have to check the thread size of the rads and figure something out. Thanks!
